If you file with an incorrect W-2 you risk the chance of rejection and having to amend.
It
is better to wait for the corrected W-2 (W-2C) than to wait for the IRS
to respond.
Another danger in filing with incorrect information, is
wrong or improper calculations. You can file and then wait for the
amendment, but this is highly discouraged.
What I recommend
is to fill out your refund to the end, but not submit. Once you receive
the proper W-2, make your needed changes and submit.
Having misinformation from your W-2 can result in a delay, so it is much better to wait for the corrected W-2 (
Known as a W-2C)
TO OBTAIN A CORRECTED W-2 (W-2C): Contact your employer.
